    •   packages are installed into the {prefix}/lib/node_modules folder, instead of the current working directory.

    •   bin files are linked to {prefix}/bin

  location

    •   Default: "user" unless --global is passed, which will also set this value to "global"

    •   Type: "global", "user", or "project"

When passed to npm config this refers to which config file to use.

When set to "global" mode, packages are installed into the prefix folder instead of the current working directory. See npm help folders for more on the differences in behavior.
